Hearing this, Cui Yi looked up at Qiao Zhen again and saw that she looked very serious, so he also put away his smile and nodded: "Let's go to my car."
Cui Yi rode in a nanny van for this event. The nanny van offered excellent privacy, and after the two of them sat in it, Qiao Zhen felt isolated from the world.
Seeing that outsiders could no longer hear what the two of them were saying, Cui Yi cut to the chase and asked, "Just tell me, why did you come to see me?"
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen pursed her lips: "Mr. Cui, I'm here to discuss a project with you."
"Talking about projects?" Cui Yi was clearly shocked. After pausing for a moment, he said, "You've got it wrong. I'm a model, not a businessman. What projects are you talking about?"
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen was not surprised. Instead, she smiled confidently and said, "Mr. Cui, since I dared to come to you, it means I have already done my background check on you. You don't need to keep me in suspense."
Hearing this, Cui Yi nodded: "You did a background check on me? Then tell me, what did you find out about me?"
Qiao Zhen didn't hide anything: "You also have an older brother named Cui Yue. Your brother runs a company, which is an asset of your Cui family, and you are one of the heirs."
Hearing this, Cui Yi nodded: "That's right, but the reason I'm a model means that I don't care about the Cui family's business, and I'm not valued by the Cui family. If you come to me, your chances of success are not high. I suggest you go to my brother."
“But I think you should have respect for the Cui family’s business. I don’t believe you’re so willing to hand over the whole business to your brother.”
Sure enough, Cui Yi's expression shifted upon hearing this. He pondered for a moment and said, "You're right. I do want a piece of the pie, but I've been a model for so many years. Even if I had the brains to return to the business world, I've already missed the best opportunity."
Cui Yi understood perfectly well that his brother had already established himself in the business world. If he wanted to make a name for himself, he would only be suppressed by his brother, both openly and secretly, making things even more difficult.
“I know your concerns, but the fact that I dared to come to you today and say these things means that I have a way to solve this.”
"A solution? What solution do you have?" Cui Yi became interested upon hearing this and suddenly sat up straight in his chair.
“Mr. Cui, you don’t need to be so nervous. If you trust me, I can help you gain a foothold in the Cui family.”
Hearing this, Cui Yi stared at Qiao Zhen for a few seconds, then nodded: "Okay, I trust you."
Qiao Zhen was still somewhat surprised by this answer, after all, he didn't expect Cui Yi to trust her so much.
However, since the words had already been spoken, Qiao Zhen nodded and said, "It's like this, recently the Cui family signed a contract with a company to enter the market for a project, which was originally a done deal, but for some reason, your brother has hindered the project."
After she finished speaking, Qiao Zhen noticed that Cui Yi was still staring at her, so she couldn't help but say more.
"Actually, it's easy to guess what your brother is thinking, because he knows that I will eventually give in and sign the contract with the Cui family, so he wants to trip me up first. But the Cui family still has you."
Having said that, Cui Yi had a general understanding of Qiao Zhen's plan. He nodded and said, "Okay, but are you confident you can pull this off?"
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen slightly curled the corners of her mouth: "The Lu Group has completely handed over this project to me, which means that I have the most say in this project. As long as your appearance makes Cui Yue realize the crisis, then it won't be me begging him, but him begging me."
Signing this project would be entirely beneficial to both companies. The reason Cui Yue dragged it out for so long was simply to embarrass Qiao Zhen.
Cui Yue genuinely believed that Qiao Zhen could only secure the project contract by approaching him, so he was fearless.
However, Qiao Zhen really wanted to know what Cui Yue's expression would be when he discovered that Qiao Zhen had signed a project with Cui Yi.

Within the Lu Group.
"Please, I beg you, please help me again. For the sake of our past as colleagues, please help me again. I'll agree to any condition you ask!"
Outside Lu Zheng's office, Tang Yue was clinging tightly to her assistant's sleeve, pleading in a very embarrassing and subservient manner.
The assistant looked troubled, seeing Tang Yue's state, he was also very embarrassed.
After all, he was just a working man. If he offended Lu Zheng, he would be in deep trouble.
"Well... Miss Tang, you know my difficulties, so please don't make things difficult for me."
It wasn't that the assistant didn't want to help, but he was just a nobody in the company, and if he helped Tang Yue, who knew what might happen to him.
"Please help me! If you don't, I'm not leaving here today!"
Seeing that Tang Yue was determined to see Lu Zhen, the assistant could only sigh helplessly and turn around to knock on Lu Zheng's door.
"Mr. Lu," the assistant said tremblingly.
"Speak." Lu Zheng's tone was indifferent, making it impossible to discern his emotions.
“Miss Tang…she has been waiting for you outside for a long time and wants to see you one more time.”
After hearing this, Lu Zheng did not reply, and the assistant could only wait anxiously.
After a while, Lu Zheng slightly raised his eyes: "Want to leave?"
Upon hearing this, the assistant shuddered: "No, no!"
After saying that, he quickly left the office.
After coming out, seeing Tang Yue's expectant look, the assistant felt really bad.
"Miss Tang, you should know the outcome even if I don't tell you."
The assistant looked embarrassed, keeping her head down and not daring to look at Tang Yue.
Tang Yue wasn't surprised by the result, but he didn't give up. He continued to pound on the door, pleading, "Lu Zheng, please see me one more time. I think I have something to show you that won't disappoint you!"
However, Lu Zheng inside the door acted as if he hadn't heard anything and continued to concentrate on his own work.
Tang Yue was still unwilling to give up, and she pounded on the door harder and harder: "Lu Zheng, as long as you meet me, I guarantee you won't regret what I give you!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng, who was inside the door, raised his eyes but did not move. Instead, he made a phone call to the security guards to kick Tang Yue out.
Before leaving, Tang Yue gripped the doorknob tightly. When the security guard dragged her away, she broke a flowerpot and made quite a commotion.
Watching Tang Yue being dragged away in the surveillance footage, Lu Zheng's face darkened further, and he called his assistant in.
"Clean up this mess, don't let me see it again, and don't let this kind of person in again."
"Okay." The assistant, sweating profusely, could only nod.
After replying, the assistant was about to leave when Lu Zheng called out to him from behind.
"Call Qiao Zhen and ask him how things are going?"
Upon hearing this, the assistant paused for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I'll get right to it."
"Tell me right away after you're done here."
Hearing Lu Zheng's unquestionable tone, the assistant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
